[ After tending to Istredd in the immediate aftermath of all of them getting shoved into this room, Steve is quick to take a look around. Not that there's a lot of room to move around when their cage has become that much smaller. It doesn't help that the grand majority of them have terrible associations with this place.
Still, Sylvain got out. Claude too, and Geralt, and the rest of the Summoned who'd helped with the boulder. Inej and Kaz and Wilhelm. It's a price he's willing to pay.
They've got some water, they've got some food options. It's not much, but with any luck they won't be trapped in here long. As he looks around, he's also carrying a strange, pulsing mace that has some sort of tissue hanging from it. He will pass that off to Nero soon enough, happy to put it into the hands of someone who will use it to great effect on their second jailbreak attempt, whenever that comes.
If the Bone Serpent lowers its ugly head from the ceiling again or drips blood down onto them, Steve will be quick to leap in and drag whoever's too close to it out of the way. When the room starts to slowly flood, Steve manages to stay calm as he considers their options for plugging the leaks, and it isn't long before he's eyeing the half-consumed corpses of those who didn't survive the ritual. ]
If we stack those bodies where the worst of the leaks are, it might at least slow down the flow of water.
[ As the days pass and people feel more and more driven to enter the Horizon, Steve will offer to keep watch so they can do so. He's feeling that pull as well, but he's going to hold off for now. He'd rather be the one keeping a careful eye out. ]
OPEN; altar room
